Title: Authentication, Authorization and Managing Data Storage
Course: CTS 2307 Windows Management > Section: Module 4

Introduction

Windows authentication is the process where security principals such as the administrators or users prove their identity before access to resources are granted. After a user is validated, authorization is provided to allow that user to access system resources such as files or folders depending on associated permissions set by the administrator. These security processes provide control of sensitive data. In this module you will request a digital certificate and create a new Active Directory Forest. Next you will create and configure storage pools on a file server.
